1966 Chevrolet Caprice, Rare Color Combination on 2040-cars
Seattle, Washington, United States
Available here is a 1966 Chevy Caprice in the Rare color combination of Aqua on Aqua. As you can see from the pictures, the interior is complete, although it needs some repairs to the seat covers and rear shelf. The car comes with an extra (used) dash pad that is in very good condition. This diamond in the rough needs a new paint job, but there doesn't appear to be any rust, except for the VERY light surface rust on the roof. The car comes with the numbers matching motor, which isn't running currently, and it comes with an extra, running big block 396. Haggerty prices a daily driver at almost $15,000 but I think that's a little extreme, and since this beauty needs some work to make her beautiful once again, I'm starting the auction at a very reasonable $4500. The buyer will have to arrange shipping, and I'll do whatever it takes to help accommodate the transportation vehicle. My Plans were to RestoMod this awesome car, unfortunately my Mother suffered a stroke a couple of years ago, and moving her into my house to care for her has been incredibly expensive. At $4500 I'm taking a loss on this awesome car, but the money I do get will go to a good cause and I'm hoping the new owner will stuff a nice LS under the hood & take good care of her. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding. |

Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.
2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers
Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
